Prairie Farmer.
The demand for plum trees is very
heavy from all over the country, show
ing that growers see their value and
plant accordingly.
Where young tree runs up in
height with but few strong branches
and slender trunk, tne top should be
trimmed off few inches, especially of
the main shoots. Troy Times.
Ito Soften Hard Water. Hard wa
tel may be softened by adding sal am
moniac. One can also use spirits of
sal ammoniac, one teaspoonful to half
gallon of water For washing pur-
poses, the dose must be stronger.
Fuel should be provided in winter
for the summer months. The busy
season will render it difficult to fill that
bill Later in the winter it can be pre-
pared in quantity ready for use. Be a
prompt and thrifty farmer. Rural

"A rose-colored mildew has proved
very destructive to tomato plants in
England this year. 1t is fungus
known to botanists as Dactylium
roseum, but has hitherto been supposed
to exist only upon vegetation in decay,
never attacking live plants English
agriculturists also complain of the APP
pearance of the Hessian fly in their
wheat and barley, while in Germany
the Colorado beetle is devastating the
potato crop. N Y Ledger.
To Bake and Stuff q Fish. Select
a large, firm feshed fresh fish, wash
it carefully in cold water and dry it in
a CLOTH Crate some bread crumbs and
chop some parsley, take a small sprig
of thyme and marjoram and chop fine
ly, mix one tablespoonful of the thyme
and marjoram, mix all with the bread
crumbs, adding salt and pepper to
taste; mix with two ounces chopped
suet; fill the fish with this stuffing, and
then sew it up; brush the fish over

crumbs, covering it all over; grease a
dish or tin and lay the fish on, put
into the oven, and bake for three-quar-

1t is common remark that farm
ing doesn' pay, but the st. Johnsbury
(Vt.) Cagedoniam has some simple facts
to the contrary. 1t says: beginning
at farm a half-mile outside the linn
its of this village and following that
line all the way to the next town,
distance of twelve miles, there are
eleven contiguous farms. On every
one of these farms the owners have
not only been able to get living, but
all have laid up money, and the own
ers of every one are now what might
be called forehanded. Several ofthese
men are worth from ten thousand dol
lars to fifteen thousand dollars each,
while one of them is worth at least
thirty thousand dollars, and this has
been made off the farm on which they
now live.
